Unbelievable Slumps: Discover Which MLB Team Sets the Record for the Worst Season Start Ever!
Longest Losing Streak on the Road to Start a Season
T-1. 0-13 – 1969 Houston Astros (April 8-30)
The 1894 Washington Senators dropped 21 on the road to open the 1894 season, but we’re looking at the modern era. After opening the season 4-20, the 1969 Astros won 19 of the next 23 games to turn things around (most of those at home). This Houston team was great at the relatively new Astrodome (52-29) but horrible on the road (29-52).
T-1. 0-13 – 1988 Baltimore Orioles (April 8-28)
Not only did the O’s drop 21 straight overall to open the 1988 season, but they also lost the first 13 on the road. Baltimore lost 22 of its first 24 games away from home en route to a 20-61 road record. Only the 2018 Orioles, who went a franchise-worst 47-115, lost more road games in the history of the franchise (19-62).
